Morning light slices the Amalfi cliffs and the Lemon Path unfurls between Maiori and Minori — a narrow ribbon of stone steps, terraced walls and citrus trees that scent the air with sharp sweetness.
The route follows centuries-old terraces carved into limestone, where the sfusato amalfitano lemon has fed local kitchens and craftspeople since medieval trade routes made Amalfi a maritime power. Geologically, the trail runs along fractured carbonate cliffs that drop to the Tyrrhenian, offering abrupt panoramas toward Ravello and the open sea.
Culturally the walk is compact: you'll pass family-run groves, a small tasting stop where lemonade, marmalade and salads are available (about €15), and the Roman-era remains in Minori at day's end. Guides often point out the dry-stone walls and irrigation channels that made lemon cultivation possible on steep slopes.
Practical guidance: expect roughly 3–4 km of walking one way with about 100–200 m of cumulative ascent on uneven cobbles and steps. The advertised tour takes around 3–4 hours and is rated easy, but it includes repeated stone steps and narrow path sections — comfortable footwear and steady knees help. Free hiking sticks are supplied; buses connect Maiori and Minori if you prefer a one-way return. Avoid the midday sun in summer, carry water, and respect private terraces and signage.
For travelers seeking a short, sensory slice of the Amalfi Coast, the Lemon Path pairs manageable hiking with tasting local produce, tidy viewpoints and a clear line to the sea.

Local SITA buses run between towns and there are regional connections; some walkers choose a one-way hike and return by bus or taxi.
Lemon cultivation on Amalfi’s terraces grew alongside maritime trade; the local sfusato amalfitano variety became a regional specialty shaping agriculture and cottage industries.
Terraced agriculture is fragile—stick to trails, avoid trampling stone walls and support local producers to help sustain traditional land use.
